Export FM7 to MS Word (Mac)

[Alison]

Hello to everyone.

Before I upgraded my software from FM6 to FM7 (Mac) a couple of years ago, I was able to import a FM file into MS Word by using the "Get Data" command underneath the Tools pull-down menu. It was very handy ... I could format everything as it came into the Word document, including fonts, punctuation, paragraphs, the works.

I can't seem to make that work anymore in Word, either in MS Office X or the newly installed MS Office 2004. In both versions of MS Office, the "Get Data" command is greyed-out and therefore inaccessible.

Yet the Help menu in Word mentions a Filemaker Import Wizard that should be available under the Tools pull-down menu (the "Get Data" function).

Is this a case of not having installed something? or that I haven't turned a preference or similar menu item on?

Very sorry if this subject is "old news" or been addressed somewhere else, though I didn't find it in the archives.

Can someone advise, please?

and thank you in advance,

Alison
